Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 vs Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd Gen)

The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 is better overall, with Apple HomeKit, a built-in Matter hub, SmartThings support, 2K video and free microSD storage. The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd Gen) is cheaper and better rated with fast on-device alerts, but it is HD-only and relies on Nest Aware for saved video.

Power, resolution and ecosystem. The G410 shoots 2K, runs on battery or wired, works with HomeKit and Matter, and records to microSD for free. The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd Gen) is wired-only HD, Google-centric, and keeps only the past 3 hours free without Nest Aware.

The Nest. The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd Gen) adds on-device people, package, animal and vehicle detection with no subscription, which is why it wins the alerts category. The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 covers people and familiar faces plus customizable motion zones.

The Aqara does not. The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 records to microSD (plus 7 days of free cloud) with no plan. The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd Gen) gives free clips only for the past 3 hours, so continuous history and familiar faces require Nest Aware.

Buyers who want 2K, Apple HomeKit, a built-in Matter hub, flexible battery or wired power and subscription-free local recording. It suits Apple and Matter-focused homes.

Google households with existing doorbell wiring who want fast, accurate on-device alerts, a tall head-to-toe view and a low price, and who are fine with HD video and paying Nest Aware to keep footage.
